Episode 15–A Kingless World (5)

Episode No.15 - A World Without a King ([-])

Before I realized it, Song Minyu was already approaching me.This is a terrifying speed, and his agility must be at least level 40 to reach this speed.

"You are?" he asked hoarsely.It looks like this guy has completed his transformation into an alien species.

[Level 6 alien species 'Song Minyu' triggered "Predator Threat Lv.5"! 】

[Character 'Han Sooyoung' used 'Mental Barrier Lv.3'. 】

[Character 'Han Soo Young' has reduced some of the effects of 'Predator Threat'. 】

In the blink of an eye, his hand stretched out and grabbed Han Xiuying's throat.

"Cough..."

Han Xiuying's physical condition may not be very good, but this is enough to make her very uncomfortable.

Level 6 alien species, this is the most difficult enemy to deal with now.

This is not the same as a level 5 Charmander.At that time, my ice attribute overwhelmed the fire attribute, and I could take advantage of the slow movement of the big monster.

But now...

Song Min Woo stared at me: "Did you break my coin farm?"

Although it was a question, his tone was very certain.As soon as Han Xiuying saw Song Minyu's sharp white teeth, she screamed: "Damn it, kill him!"

I used the blade of faith, and Han Sooyoung used Avatar at the same time.Almost at the same time, Song Minyu kicked from mid-air.The head of the newly created avatar exploded, and I was thrown into the air.

[Level 6 alien species 'Song Minyu' triggered 'Acceleration Lv.5'! 】

Song Minyu punched so fast it was almost invisible.Head, shoulders, abdomen, violent blows poured out on these parts of me.Fist-shattered air bursts from me.

Han Xiuying said: "The only son of gold!"

...... No, even if it is a foreign species, how could he be so strong?

It was too late to dodge the blow, and I hastily increased my overall stats.

【16,000 coins are invested in stamina. 】

【Stability Lv.24 -> Stamina Lv.50】

【A giant-like physique fills your body. 】

The pain lessened quickly to the point where I could bear it.However the situation is not over.

"Jin Duzi? Where have I heard this name?" I heard Song Minyu muttering to himself.

I can see the face through my defenses, and that's the problem.This guy is not strong, the problem is with me.

[The effect of 'Predator's Threat' reduces your will to fight. 】

['Predator Threat' slows down your movement speed. 】

That's ridiculous.I can overcome the threat of the fifth-level fire dragon, but was affected by this guy?

This is impossible.I have a fourth wall...

[Exclusive skill 'Fourth Wall' is shaking. 】

This has happened once before.

That time when I was fighting Liu Zhonghyuk in the theater dungeon, I was immersed in Liu Zhonghyuk's No.1 perspective...but now Liu Zhonghyuk is not here.

why?

Song Minyu growled and raised his paw: "...a bit familiar. Do I know you?"

– Hey, Jin Duzi.What's this?

A familiar voice overlapped with this voice.

[Exclusive skill 'Fourth Wall' is shaking. 】

I grabbed his animal wrist and replied, "I don't know."

"Really? I think I remember."

– Stop reading and go get me some bread.answer?

[Level 6 alien species 'Song Minyu' triggered 'Memory Enhancement Lv.3'!]

"I know you."

[Exclusive skill 'Fourth Wall' is shaking. 】

...Damn it.I see.Now I know what the fourth wall skill is.

A smile appeared on Song Minyu's face: "That's weird enough. How did a freak like you survive until now? You read novels every day."

"..."

"Haha, you are that person. Aren't you the guy who was beaten by me while reading novels in your spare time? Don't you remember?"

I remember that.

Of course I do.

A belated rage filled my head.

"You are Song Minyu. You should still remember your old classmate's face, right? That's good. I'm still wondering if you're still alive."

When I was 17, I kept thinking, if I was strong enough, I would tear this guy apart.

Song Minyu was still talking: "Where can I read the novel you were reading at that time?"

The moment I heard this sentence, a scene appeared in my mind.I was sitting in my seat reading a novel when he hit me.

……Maybe?

– Hey Otaku, have you been watching this?Is this interesting?so funny.

Of course, the novel I was reading at the time...

Song Minyu punched me in the abdomen, and my body flew into the air again.The moment I hit the outer wall of the building, Han Soo-young's avatar attacks Song Min-woo.The cracked outer wall of the building fell to the ground with me.

[Exclusive skill 'Fourth Wall' is shaking. 】

the fourth wall.This is an exclusive skill that I have from the beginning.Although I don't know all the effects of this skill yet, I'm sure of at least one thing.

This skill makes me think that the world is a "fiction".

To be honest, I often feel weird because I make judgments and actions that are impossible in reality.It was as if I was watching the world indifferently from outside.

This is because of the fourth wall.

"Damn... what are you doing?"

An angry voice rang in my ear.When I was clearing the pile of stones, an angry Han Xiuying blocked my way.

Dozens of her avatars are dealing with Song Minyu and the werewolf in the corridor.Blood flowed from Han Xiuying's nose, and her blood vessels burst from her desperate efforts.

This is because Han Xiuying exhausted the little magic power she had left to exert this power.

"I believe you, but what are you doing now?"

I stood up slowly, feeling a sharp pain in my bones.This is real pain.I have almost forgotten how it feels since the fourth wall acts as a buffer for this pain.

[Many zodiac signs are left bewildered by unexpected developments. 】

Enduring the pain, I stood up and shook off the dust on my body: "This is an awakening event."

"……what?"

"What's the fun in always winning easily? Sometimes, I should go through adversity.

"Oh, that's why you were beaten so badly?"

"I just thought about it for a while."

[Many constellations breathed a sigh of relief. 】

The fourth wall is a skill that makes reality seem like fiction.

So it's pretty obvious why the wall shakes.This is because I now regard Song Min Woo as 'reality'.He's the bastard who beat me up and made my teenage years a tragedy.

"...do you know that bastard?" She's a writer, and a very straightforward woman.I stared at her, and the hesitant Han Shuying quickly added, "I'm sorry. I didn't want to hear it, but what he said to you..."

I honestly answer someone with polygraph skills: "Yes, I know him."

"I can probably guess..."

"That bastard, he's clearly traumatized."

"...Where is the obvious trauma? The trauma should be serious."

Han Xiuying vomited blood.

"So what? Han Xiuying, you can help me wake up. If you tell me a few words from the "Inactivation Method", won't I be able to wake up?"

"Do you think I'm Li Xiancheng?"

In the end, I still had to figure this out myself.If every time I met someone who stimulated my trauma, the fourth wall would shake and it would be hard for me to move forward.

On top of that, I'm 28 now.I am no longer a 17-year-old teenager who gets scared by bullies.

[A constellation who likes revenge revealed his modifier. 】

【Constellation 'The one who overcomes the late trials' is cheering for you. 】

[Some constellations have reached an agreement. 】

[A bounty scene happened! 】

【Bounty Scenario – Overcoming Trauma】

Category: Sub

Difficulty: C

Some constellations, such as "The One Who Overcomes the Trials of the Late Stage," entrust you with a bounty scene.Get over your trauma and get rid of the ghosts of the past within the allotted time.

Time limit: 1 hours

compensate:? ? ?

Failure: Scorn of "he who overcomes the trials of the latter days".

"He Who Overcomes the Trials of Later Times" is a constellation I've seen in "Deactivation".

As far as I know, this guy is a constellation from another world...well, more such constellations will start appearing in the fifth scene.

Either way, it's a blessing in disguise.I threw the 'straw mat of Siming Hall' to Han Xiuying.

"Wipe up the nosebleed and stay back."

"what?"

"This is enough."

I passed Han Xiuying's avatar and walked towards the group of werewolves.

[6000 coins are invested in agile. 】

[Agility Lv.30->Agility Lv.40]

【The amazing wind grows inside you. 】

【15,500 coins are invested in power. 】

【Strength Lv.25->Strength Lv.50】

【Your muscles are squirming like a monster. 】

I should have done this long ago, I've been too cautious since getting hit by a 'storm of probability' not too long ago.

[The special option of 'Unbreakable Faith' is activated. 】

[The nature of ether is converted to 'sacred'. 】

I have no reason to lose this battle.I just made a momentary misjudgment because of the shaking of the fourth wall.If I think about it, I have a way to beat these guys.In fact, I have many ways.

The werewolf fell before my blade.Werewolves have a dark attribute, which makes them vulnerable to divine attributes.

Also, I don't have to worry about getting a 'no kill' penalty on them.Like I said, they're alien species, not humans.They are no longer my kind.

I found Song Min Woo's face in the werewolf.His eyes slowly widened, and Han Xiuying's voice came from behind me.

"Hey! Are you alright?"

I didn't answer.In fact, the situation is almost exactly the same as before.

[Exclusive skill 'Fourth Wall' is shaking. 】

However, the result will be different from before.

"It's okay. My awakening event is over."

I ran straight to Song Minyu.

Roar--!

Several thoughts flashed through my mind.If I use Jian Pingyi and call out the constellation 'Hexagram Hunter', this game will be easily over.But I'm not going to fight through my trauma like this.

This time, I must use my own ability to fight.

[Level 6 alien species 'Song Minyu' triggered 'Acceleration Lv.5'! 】

After the acceleration was triggered, Song Minyu's body moved faster.He originally had level 40 agility, but now under the effect of the skill 'Acceleration Lv.5', his speed has been further improved.

I don't have any footwork skills, so I have to take shortcuts.

[7000 coins are invested in agile. 】

[Agility Lv.40->Agility Lv.50]

【Your body contains an amazing storm! 】

If I don't have the skills, I can leverage data.I dodged the flying claws lightly, and raised my sword.

"Gahahahah!"

One arm flew into the air, and I chopped off his other arm.The confused Song Minyu lost his balance.

I didn't miss the chance and cut off his leg.

The moment his limbs were cut off in an instant, Song Minyu let out a roar.With the roar, his severed limbs grew back again.

This is the prerogative of werewolf 'limb regeneration'.Normally, though, it's slower... The bastard, is he 'protected'?

That's right...it's better this way.

【Constellation 'The one who overcomes the later trials' focuses on your actions. 】

The goal of the bounty scene is to overcome trauma.This constellation will not be satisfied with simple killing.

I dropped my sword and used my fists instead.

【8000 coins are invested in power. 】

【Strength Lv.50->Strength Lv.60】

[Your strength has begun to attract the attention of the giants. 】

[Your total data has almost reached the limit of this scene. 】

I grabbed Song Minwoo's neck.

[Exclusive skill 'Fourth Wall' is shaking. 】

Every time I look at this guy's face, I feel the '17 year old golden only son' shrinking back inside me.

poor guy.From now on, I will avenge "him".

"Minyu, I didn't greet you well just now."

"what……?"

"Nice to meet you."

I hit him in the stomach.

"Kahho!"

"By the way, I was in a lot of pain at the time."

17-year-old Jin Duzi looked at me in memory.

Relax and watch it.

"If you still have a conscience, shouldn't you apologize first?"

I grabbed him with one hand and continued punching him.Chest, belly and face.

"What's wrong with reading novels? Huh? Did I hurt you?" I stood in for 17-year-old Jin Duzi, hitting him again and again, "Bastard, I even used the money I paid for the books."

His teeth were broken, his chest muscles were dented, and even his bones were shattered.Nearby werewolves howled at the attack, but could not get closer.Despite not using any skills, I exuded a predator threat.

Real fear comes from forces that are not in the same dimension. After 10 minutes, Song Minyu begged for mercy.

"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-"

"Really? Are you sorry for me?"

"Yes! I'm really, really sorry! I- I was young..."

Of course he is young.I know.This level of malice was understandable in his immaturity.but……

"You must have made a mistake...I don't want you to apologize." This is something that is incomprehensible and unforgivable, "First of all, you shouldn't apologize to me."

"What is that..."

"First, I'll hit you until all my trauma is gone."

I looked at the fallen Song Min Woo and thought of my boyhood.I am helpless, vulnerable, and only know fiction.

Actually, Han Xiuying was right.

There is no visible trauma in this world.

All trauma is severe for the person involved, so I don't feel like these actions will completely undo my trauma.I often have nightmares, and the 17-year-old Jin Duzi keeps repeating the tragedy of that time.

However, there may be some consolation in this.Just like when I read "Inactivation Law".

The 28-year-old Jin Duzi may be able to help the 17-year-old Jin Duzi escape the nightmare briefly.

"Ugh! Cough cough! Stop-stop...stop..."

Just like 'Yoo Jong Hyuk' was to me back then.

"Kah..."

How long did I hit him?

Finally, for a moment, I looked at Song Minyu's face and felt nothing.

[The shaking of the exclusive skill 'Fourth Wall' has subsided. 】

[You have met the clearance conditions for the bounty scene! 】
